Robert Kelley, who assumed the vice presidency of the show on Monday of this week, said in a phone call from Los Angeles to WSC authorities he had ordered the show cancelled "because of the incompetency of his crew" which sets up and prepared the artificial skating rink. He said he had watched the crew and couldn't feel comfortable about the way they worked . Kelley, who replaced Dick Curd as vice president, said he also cancelled the show's performance at Twin Falls, Idaho for the same reason. Dr. James R. Foulger, WSC vice president for administrative affairs who is chairman of the DEC policy committee, verified that college officials had been concerned that the expensive DEC maple wood flooring (the basketball floor) would be damaged by the rink. Both Kelley and Foulger Ogden Vets get services On Dec. 20, the Veterans Field Service Center' will officially open its doors. "The Center has been working on a part time volunteer basis for five years now," said Ray D.

The funding is for seven years of operation. According to Holley the Center Drive carefully!

Hi density, inch-thick styrofoam is placed on the plastic sheeting, which acts as an insulator, stopping all heat and cold transfer from the floor. A second layer of plastic sheeting is then laid down, followed by refrigeration coils placed up and down the surface, then a coolant is pumped into the coils from a compressor. Finally, water is applied in layers with a fine mist spray until a two-inch thick layer of ice builds up to form the rink surface. The system of building the artificial rink is not at issue, Kelley said.. will serve a two-fold purpose. One, to provide services needed to the local area veterans, the other to provide in-service internship to social work majors from WSC.
